maxbet Marco Silva is looking to make a statement with his first bit of business at Everton, as the club have reportedly opened talks with Hannover 96 over the possibility of signing German talisman Niclas Fullkrug, according to an exclusive on Get German Football News.

The report claims an Everton intermediary has opened a formal dialogue between the two clubs, with Silva keen to get a deal sorted as soon as possible – as the player isn’t partaking in the World Cup with Germany this summer, due to the plethora of German goalscorers at the tournament.

An initial offer of around £19 million is believed to have been bid, but Hannover are likely to play hard-ball over their star man, and the number is sure to rise as negotiations continue.

The 25-year-old enjoyed a successful season with the Bundesliga outfit last term, maxbet amassing 14 goals in 34 league appearances – which was bettered only by Bayern Munich superstar Robert Lewandowski – and Everton are keen to bring his goal-scoring talents to Goodison Park, as the club pursue a return to European football in the near future.

Toffees fans bemoaned the pragmatic style of football under Sam Allardyce last term, having finished 19th for number of shots registered, shots on target and chances created in England’s top tier, highlighting their need for attacking reinforcements. And Fullkrug would add serious firepower to the Blues’ ranks. maxbet (https://maxbet-sports.com)
